Possibly the most unexpected part of this trailer is the inclusion of various vehicles that Link can ride. Although the prior game's DLC saw the inclusion of a motorcycle for Link, that was technically a Divine Beast. These vehicles - including one that looks like a car, a hot air balloon, and a flying platform powered by propellors - seem to be pieced together from parts that are found throughout the wo
Aside from using the ability for exploration, however, Recall can also be spotted being used in a previous trailer for Tears of the Kingdom . In it, Link uses the ability on a large metal spiked ball rolling down a hill at him, sending the object back up its path and crashing it through several enemies. Like Stasis from BOTW , the specific use cases of Recall seem somewhat niche in combat situations, with the ability seemingly being most useful for turning the tables on preset traps, but creative players may yet be able to find creative uses for it upon the full game's rele
During one of the more ominous shots in the trailer, the game's villain - presumably the threatening Voice Memories feature of Gannondorf - can be heard commanding his minions to raze Hyrule and destroy the kingdom. We see various enemies manifested through bursts of malice, but one in particular certainly stands
Using Fuse in TOTK on a Fortified Pumpkin and an arrow could create a type of utility arrow to stun or blind enemies. A Pumpkin Arrow could bind a Fortified Pumpkin onto the head of the enemy it hits. Even if the Pumpkin Arrow didn't do damage when it hits an enemy, the utility of blinding an enemy for a set period of time could be a lifesaver for players in situations such as being outnumbe
For some fans, the lure of an exploration-based game like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is helped by having a lively hub world that's enjoyable to spend time in. Redditor jaspergants wants it to truly be a fantasy world fans would want to live in and thinks that would be helped by a return to "a bustling Hyrule" in the Breath of the Wild seq
With this update, the same types of combatants may fight differently depending on their Fused weapon of choice. A recurring theme in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer seems to be that players should expect a heightened need for creative problem-solving. That seems particularly true for in-game combat.
Tears of the Kingdom's Link can merge different items together with Fuse. And not just some items; at least if the trailer is any indication, pretty much everything within the interactive environment is up for grabs.
The final moments of the new trailer has Zelda asking an unknown entity to lend Link their power, followed immediately by a shot of the Hero of Time reaching out for the Princess as the ground beneath her gives way and she falls into oblivion. This particular sequence likely takes place in the opening hours beneath the ruins of Hyrule Castle, with Link and Zelda seeking out the remains of Calamity Ganon following his defeat. Nintendo has not been shy about showing his decaying corpse, radiating mythical dark energy as its hollow eye sockets lock onto whatever poor soul it encounters. And yet his role remains a mystery.
An undead-looking creature that wasn't present in the previous game can be spotted next to the various forms of Bokoblins in this cutscene. Due to its zombie-like physique and terrifying eyes, this may signify the return of Redeads, one of the series' scariest creatures. This new form certainly looks horrifying enough to live up to their leg
These large towers are definitely different from those seen in the previous game, with unique architecture and glowing spotlights surrounding them, but some shots of the structures show that they also feature a similar orange glow resonating from within. Only time will tell if these newer towers serve the same purpose as the ones in Breath of the W
An ancient evil has once again descended upon Hyrule, awakening a forgotten civilization in the sky and imbuing the land’s creatures with newfound power and aggression that will likely tear everything asunder. The stakes are high, with Hyrule Castle crumbling away into dust as red streaks of energy bubble and burst into the landscape. I’m not even sure if Ganon is the one talking in the trailer’s opening seconds, convinced Nintendo is throwing out a red herring as the previous calamity prepares to play a far more pivotal role in the upcoming story.
What's interesting is that the mechanism seems to manipulate an entire portion of one of the floating islands that Link is exploring. This suggests that there will be parts of these islands that you can alter to explore further, potentially even changing the layout of the realm hovering over Hyr
Link's rocking some sort of prehistoric Stone Age look in the gameplay trailer. Not only is he more or less shirtless, but he also sports unbound long hair and noticeable arm tattoos that look very Sheikah-like. In Breath of the Wild, different outfits and equipment gave Link specific abilities that helped him survive certain environments and enemies.
